OK, on television a couple of minutes ago was an Advertorial from the company formerly known as Ulay but now bizarrely rebranded as Olay. Almost like Olé.
Anyway, the vignette behind this horrendous piece of Americanised marketing is a rather good-looking young woman is ‘made over’ by a team of make-up ‘experts’.
The first of these alleged ‘experts’ instructs the woman in the art of make-up; how to apply, when to apply; what to apply.
There’s just one flaw.
The supposed ‘expert’ has a massive case of ‘trout mouth’.
Yes indeedy, our ‘expert’ has been bottoxed so much that her lips closely resemble a red-painted toilet plunger.
Would you take advice on looking good from someone who looks as though you could lick her lips and attach her face to the nearest plate-glass window?
No, I thought not.
That’s an issue I have with hairdressers. In most salons I’ve visited, every single stylist displays a total lack of good taste according to my book (in hair style, in clothes, in makeup). So why, oh why do I trust one of them to cut my hair and make it look good?
The Olay/Ulay thing has been switching around in NZ for years. I think they think they’re synonyms.
Havn’t you noticed that almost ALL fashion critics on the telly are sartorial trainwrecks? It seems it’s almost a requirement.
lol! Exactly! They are supposed to be experts but don’t seem to grasp just how silly and awful THEY look! Ugh!
It’s like those ads for mascara that claim that their product will make your lashes longer than the M1 and show a famous person with impressively neat, thick and dark eyelashes. Then you read the small print at the bottom, “Filmed using lash inserts”. Great, so your product is SO good that to make the famous bird look good you’ve had to glue falsies to her face. Excellent. And why do the stylists in my local Tony and Guy’s all have mullets? That baffles me as well.
